So it's kind of like a carbon tax, but only higher.

Can't wait to see stickers of trump and "I did that" on the gas pumps...
Does expensive oil help Russia? I presume that it would. Probably doesn't hurt the Muskrat either.
Small price to pay… besides the US bases being targeted by missiles, the billions in defense hardware being used, refineries in neighboring countries being targeted and hit, the economy under further seige, and we haven’t yet been hit by the price increases due to transportation costs of goods.
Yeah. He left all of that out.
Also it was a small price to pay for defeating Iran , something that hasn't been achieved yet.
There is no way USA will defeat Iran in any meaningful sense.
If USA put boots on the ground, it will be many times worse than Afghanistan.
First: There are even more hiding places in the mountains of Iran than in Afghanistan, and the population is twice as big. And the area 2½ times bigger.
Second: Iran is way better organized, and has several big well trained organizations that can be made ready for guerrilla war almost instantly.
Third: I very seriously doubt any traditional allies to USA will be willing to support such an action. so USA will be on their own. If Israel goes in too, it will probably only make it worse.
Fourth, there is no organized support for the invaders as USA and the allies had in Afghanistan where it was supported by the reigning government.
It's very doubtful the war can be won from the sky, it's simply never been done! So the outlook for USA winning this war is bleak to put it mildly.
Funny, Iran never bothered me before but NOW it's really bothering me.
Trump did THAT.
What that man says and what that man does is two different things.
Small price to pay for covering up your involvement in the Epstein files you pedophile

Small price to pay for distracting people from the Epstein files.
It's so easy for the child fucker to say that when I pay for his fuel usage.
Nothing says making affordability a priority like spiking gas prices with no end in sight.

Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT
Can we please increase the cost of oil without committing atrocities?
How about adding a 5% carbon tax every year. Use that funding for busses and trains.
@MicroWave@lemmy.world some more channeling of that "Let them eat cake" energy
It's the same price we paid for war with Iraq which took about 20 years to become a stable and self-functioning state.
When others cause issues, it's because they are incompetent. When I cause issues, there's a really good reason
Rules for thee, not for me
Someone needs to make a "how it started, how it's going" for this.
But Donvict started with an economy that was the envy of the world, bitched and whined and howled with brazen lies about it, claiming, with no evidence, it was the "worst EVAR". Now it's a year+, and he's saying making the economy worse is worth it.
